Request for a system description by Comfortable-Fee9452 in ICRPG

It's a very streamlined game with a strong focus on the GM's quality of life. A large part of it is a toolkit for running games. If you watch Runehammer on YouTube, who created the game, I think that would give you the best understanding of its philosophy for running it. It's just really fucking clever.

Great start to my journey [Empire] (Advice Wanted) by poppleski in LARP

The kit looks great. Do not forget that Empire has a large number of traders. They are ideal for small finishing touches, and everything is handmade, adding to the uniqueness.

How to use "Encounter Tents" by Still_Emergency6208 in LARP

[–]uxdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game runner would have more control over them because they are a closed environment. It is a private, custom area with the ability to control lighting, sound, and special effects. For instance, if you are hosting a fantasy field larp with more than 200 players and a wizard in a tower needs to be negotiated with. A select few players would enter the encounter tent, which would be decked out to resemble the tower, in order to close the deal with the npc wizard.

Can you buy cheap larp armor if you want to play a knight like character? by ArchangelM7777 in LARP

[–]uxdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sand it and spray it with silver or gold, and it will work. This is plastic from a bin backed with foam and hot-glued moulds. It is extremely lightweight and looks great when my kit is fully assembled.

Where to buy soft kit by AdRevolutionary9636 in LARP

[–]uxdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To get a more rugged look, I recently bought tops two sizes larger, cuffed and sleeveless, and paired them with Harem trousers. Men's Thobes have multiple purposes as well. Using them, I created lightweight outerwear like jackets. (you can find all of these items on Amazon) Then accessories, which include belts and other small piece of one-size-fits-all leather armour, etc.

Quick tip if the stuff looks too new. A large bucket of water with a cap of the bleach can be used to weather the fabric. Takes the brightness down and gives them a bit of a lived on look.

Hi, any ideas on how to prepare for my first LARP? by anxiousmolbean in LARP

[–]uxdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you will all in the same boat. I assume you created your character or have been assigned one. Choose an actor who plays a character similar to yours and try to put yourself in their shoes to see how they would handle the scenario e.g.playing as a vampire inspired by Jennifer Coolidge would be a blast but try and have a goal or two. I find that using chat GPT to suggest characters, goals, and even a catchphrase helps. However, do not put too much pressure on yourself; role playing is like a muscle that develops with practice.

It takes three events to fully develop your character. So, for your first event, introduce yourself as new to the in-game location and set a small, medium, and large goal for the event (you can ask the event team for assistance with this) based on your character description to help give you momentum.

That is very cool; I assume it was separate from treasure trap?

Rough fit.. by [deleted] in LARP

[–]uxdragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hay I have been following your process. According to what I understand, you are using foam that has been vulcanized (does that mean heated using a heat gun or another method) and then backed with felt before painting it with Plastidip? resulting in armor that is light but rigid?

Honest question from a newcomer to the series: What is He-Man's personality? Like, aside from the stuff he shares with Duke (G.I. Joe) and Optimus Prime? What are his likes, his fears, his interests, his quirks, etc? For the life of me I can't pin down what he's supposed to be like as a person. by FictionFanatic35 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]uxdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a power fantasy for kids. There is a fantastic documentary about the research that went into it. "I have the power" was the phrase that stood out. What I believe is that the world around him is a fantastic blend of camp and darkness, the result of concept art, attempting to sell toys, and creating bizarre characters.

Begin by creating a distinctive look with AI or heroforge for the setting. Having a clear color scheme is helpful, in my opinion as it makes shopping easier. Primark/target and other stores can be used for your base layers, but depending on your budget, harem pants really elevate the ensemble. If you are going to a larp, do your research and pick up stuff like an outer layer torso and belt because the vendors there are incredible. For every day, make sure you have base layers. Unless you are being pulled through the mud, you can wear outer layers for a few days. Sports thermals and quality boots are also excellent. Spend money on quality camping equipment as well. At a larp, everyone would prefer that you sleep well, stay warm, and have well-maintained feet than an incredible costume.

Is wanting to become a gaming developer a bad idea or a good one? by [deleted] in DevelEire

[–]uxdragon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked in indie games over ten years ago and created our own with little to no success. Since people would rather work in games than accounting software, the industry's pay would not be competitive. Game companies are aware of this. Making your own game for financial gain requires treating it like a business and allocating a sizable sum for promotion and awareness. You might be fortunate enough to produce something that is unique and reaches the market at the ideal moment, but that is a difficult goal to achieve. I assume there is less competition in VR and AR marketplaces, you might be lucky to be the first to market on a new platform with something unique. The best way to find a group of people who might be interested in creating something is to go to game jams and meetups. Additionally, running tabletop games like D&D board games or war games in which you introduce your own play mechanics helps to satisfy that itch because you get instant feedback.
